Another Thread on the McGeehan incident....

So let's get this straight. A supposed Barnsley 'fan' who posts regularly on here , by the monika 'DannyWilsonLoveChild' not only "knows" what McGeehan was thinking and that his post tackle reaction 'proves' his guilt, he also asserts that McGeehan is banned for the Suznderland game and we are therefore missing 3 vital players for 3 games. Whilst he is not alone in siding against a BFC player in this instance , he is the main proponent. I fail to see why people like him even bother to post. (Jacob's card incidentally was over zealous and by the rules of the game the sending off was justified) If the Sky video is used as the only source of evidence the the WHOLE video shouòld be viewed and charges brought against at least one oppostion player for a far worse 'studs up high tackle' on a BFC player that, strangely SKY failed to highlight.
SIGNIFICANTLY..
Was there not a case recently where the jumbotron replay in the stadium showed a replay when VAR was not working so the FA / referee stated they could not use it as evidence to overturn a decision? Yet SKY recordings (the FA's paymasters) and opinions of the pundits IS acceptable as evidence.
As for the referee saying he did not see it and then reporting same only after seeing repeated showing on SKY I refer to the previous paragraph. Inconsistent!! The FA clearly make it up as they go along. About time some clubs took legal action against them as there are financial implications resulting from theses inconsistencies. Based on the above Barnsley should be claiming the evidence is inadmissible.
THAT is what DWLC should be commenting on.
I do not agree that the FA has it in for lil'ol Barnsley However, I suspect SKY would prefer a 'big' club- in terms of support levels and following- in the Championship any day over Barnsley as it would generate more viewers and more revenue. Money talks!
Get behind the team.

 

He's just giving his opinion on an open football forum, that's what this place is all about, it'd be a bit dull otherwise .

 

I agree with most of what you stated there "tt" but opinions are important, no matter how wrong they may seem to others.
Imho it is for the fa to find him guilty, He has been charged but i would imagine having spent a bit of time on this it would be pretty easy to defend the incident. However we do have previous for not challanging decisions and i sometimes wonder what we are thinking.
Sky brought up the incident because "it was something to discuss" on air time, as many have claimed, why not look at the incidents against us in the match, why only that one?
The refs have a hard job, i dont believe all this "it only happens to us" stuff, i do believe mcgeehan should appeal though and pretty confident he will get off.

 

I agree with you that it was strange and lacking in even-handedness to focus on the McGeehan incident and yet overlook the challenge on Dougall and the various assaults which put Jordan Green into the hoardings - do Southend use this as a ploy at home? The commentators said it was a 'hostile' place to go and, as there was no Millwall-like behaviour from the fans, perhaps they meant that Southend players regularly use the hoardings and slope to bounce opposition players with it always looking accidental. Danny Higginbottom, of course, played a season at Sunderland. Just saying, of course. Nothing intended. What about the rest of the commentary team. Any hidden agendas with links to Sunderland, or the other clubs in the mix for promotion? It is strange that the commentary team focussed on this one incident involving our 'man of the match,' but made no mention of the other incidents. 'Free Cameron McGeehan!'

 

For me , Cameron did not intentionally “stamp” on the player - the assaults on Cavaré, Brown & Green (twice) were absolutely deliberate with no attempt at the ball! Send in video to expose their disgraceful tactics!

 

Sunderland actually used footage filmed for the next series of their Netflix documentary as evidence to get one of their players out of a red card that they appealed. Seems rules are made up as they go along.
